To the New Ha)n.pshire JiepvMictm Slate Centnd Comuuttec : 

GiiNTLEMKX : Greorge G. Fog^ formerly a member of thf^ 
Republican party, after a five years' chase oi {\\e golden feec<' 
over tlie mountains of Switzerland, has hecome rahid. His 
symptoms, at first, were only those usual to a snarling, ugly 
cur, who, having gorged himself like the dog in the man- 
f'er, will neither eat himself nor let tlie horse eat. Within 
the last few months, however, the foam, froth, and j)oisoii- 
ous venom which he has belched forth prove beyond dispute 
that Fogg's case is irolitical hydrophohia in its worst form. 

In view, therefore, of the fact that at the sight/ of me or 
of my name Fogg raves like a mad dog at the sight of 
water, 1 feel it to be my duty to ask the Republioan State 
Central Committee, or those members living in Merrimack 
county, where Fogg and myself are well known, to examine 
certain important facts, which may account for his ravings, 
and to render an impartial judgment between him and me. 

In the last number of the Independent Democrat, issued 
since my re-election as Sergeant-at-Arms of the United States 
House of Representatives, for a fourth term, by the votes of 
members upon whom Fogg had forced his venomous, dirty 
sheet, teeming with falsehoods concerning me day after day, 
week after week, and month after month, he renews his 
ravings and charges in 

Falsehood No. 1. — "That by the letter of the law and 
uniform practice the Sergeant-at-Arms is entitled to but 
two dollars for each arrest," &c. — while he says that 1 



charged, on a certain o<.'casionj .^5.20, in deliance of law and 
usage. The facts are, that by the 24th Rule of tlie House 
of Representatives it is })rovided that the "fees of the 
Sergeant-at-Arms shall be, for every arrest, $2 ; for each 
day's custody and releasemeut, §1 ;" to v?hich should be 
added ten cents per mile for two miles, or each fraction of a 
mile, travel, making the legal fees, without estra expense. 
83.20 in eacli case of arrest. In the ca,«re referred to, on ac- 
count of the extra expense of jjrocuring nearly half of the 
members, scattered all over this city of '- inagnificent dis- 
tances," the House voted me double the usual fees, which I 
did not accept, but simply a^ded the cost of a dozen messen- 
gers and hacks, whicli were on duty all niglit and until 
nearly noon the next day, making the sum charged |;5. 20 
each, or 5^1.20 less than I was entitled to by the vote of the 
House. So much for the false charge of taking $5.20 wliere 
the law allowed but i^2. 

Falsehood No. 2 says : " Mr. Ordway has been allowed 
thousands of dollars for constructive mileage by Mr. RbllinS. ' ' 

The fact has been published over and over again that my 
bills have all been examined and approved by the committee 
for wliich the Avork was performed before going to the com- 
mittee of which Mr Rojlins was a member, and that no bill 
of mine was ever signed by Mr. Rollins until a majority ol' 
the membeis of the Committee on Accounts liad examined 
and approved it. 

In regard to the amount charged foi' mileage, 1 state that 
I made my bills exactly in accordance with the custom and 
usage under the law of 18513, and all my charges were 
deemed equitable and legal by the committees for which 1 
perforn)ed the service, as appears by the following statement ; 

lo the CJiainnan of liic Co/nmiilcc on Accounts : 

The undersigned, Chairmen of Committees authorized by the Hout^ 
of Representatives to send for persons and papers, examine witnesses, 
&c., would say (if our testimony is wanted) that we have full confi- 
dence in the integrity and faithfulness of Col. N. G. Ordway, Ser- 
geant-at-Arms : and ivill ndfl that, wlipn extra roinpensation has been 



Hllowed him, it was done to enable him to iHcilitate the iiiveatigatioii* 
of such matters as were committed to us, and in our judgment such 
expenditures were made for the bei^fc interests of the Government

Fogg further says that Ordway has received 847,815 in fees. 

wliich is, in fact, more than I received during the past six 

years ; and, following '• Manker's "" precedent, lie t}?ll.s how 

many trips that sum would make around the globe. It is 

said that ''liars tihould have goo(l memories,"' but Fogg 

seems to have had a bad one, for in his last week's issue he 

puts my fees at |20,000 a year — while according to these 

figures of .$47,815 for six years, tlie gross receipts could nor 

vary much from $8,000 a year. The truth is that they have 

been much less than even that sum, as will be shown by the 

following certificate of the Clerk of the Committee on Ar- 

counts : 

CoALMiTTi-x o\ Accounts, 

IIoi;SE of ItEPRESH.NT.VTIVRS, Frhn^d/;/ S. 1869. 

X. (I. Ordw.w, Sergeant-at-Ar?fis : 

Sii! : 111 compliance with your request I have to state that the 
amount of money allowed you by this committee for fees, cash paid 
on account oT investijijating committee.^, horse hire and emoluments 
I'ur the fiscal year endiu!^ .Tniu^ ;iO, 1868, and up to January, 1869, 
WR*? SI9.865.0S. Of tiiis huiu SIO.477.09 was paid i'or expenees, 



leeg and emoluments which accrued previous lo December, 1867, 
leaving ii9, 387.99 as the whole amount for expenses and emolument? 
of all kinds for which payment was made which accrued in the fiscal 
year. Of this amount ($9,387.99) $1,713.19 was for expenses of 
committees and caph paid, leaving the total amount of fees for sum- 
moning witnesses, &c., $7,647.80, as appears from the bonks of thi>^ 
office. 

Yoursi truly, &c., 

J. W. CLARK, 
Cltrh Comiaittee on Accounts, llouse of Represejitatues. 
The above is a true copy of a letter written and sent IVfr. Ordwny 

by me, February 8, 1869. 

J. W. CLARK, 

C/erk of Connnittre. 

Thus it will be seen that the total amount received by the 
Sergeant-at Arms for fees and services of process during the 
year 1808, or the impeachment year, was but seven thousand 
six hundred and seventy-four dollars and eighty cents, and 
before charging me witli even that amount as net profit, the 
(^ost of sending messengers all over the country must be 
deducted, which was not less than fifty per cent, of the 
whole sum, leaving the actual emoluments for fees not ovei' 
^3^837. 40, or just about one half what Fogg received for his 
two months' services releasing rebel cotton at New Orleans, 
which resulted in a loss to the Government of more than a 
million of dollars. Now add to the sum of $3,837.40 my 
salary of twenty-five hundred dollars, which includes the 
twenty per cent, recently voted, and we have the astounding 
fact that I have been paid about $6,000 a year, during 
tlie most expensive or impeachment year, for disbursing 
and becoming responsible for one million and a lialf dollars 
annually, besides all my other duties. Will any man who 
knows the expenses incident to the support of a family in 
Washington pretend that the tax-payers are unnecessarily 
burdened on my account? 

As to Fogg's spy, Wilkinson, whose charges against me 
were printed in Fogg's office, 1 will only say that he was 
contradicted by every witness whom he himself called to 
sustain liis infamous allegations, as is sliown by the followinM- 



extract from the report of the committee to which his black- 
mailing circular was referred : 

*' The testimony of Mr. Wilkinson wai* rendered of very little ac- 
count, in the estimation of the committee, by the fact that it is in con- 
riict with almost all the other testimony in the case. He swears to 
certain alteration in paperi^ which, upon examination, prove to be 
wholly untrue. He swears to conversations with other witnesses 
which the other witnesses not only do not remember, but positively 
^ deny having occurred. He is contradicted in several material and 
distinct matters by the testimony of his own witnesses, IVEessrs. Conn 
and Dillon, and also by Messrs. Hulburd, Rollins, Lloyd, ami 
Cheney. 

" Upon the whole matter, the committee find none of the charges 

sustained by the evidence, as far as they impute fraud to the Sergeant- 

at-Arms. They therefore recommend the passagf of the following 

resolution : 

''Resolved, Tliat tlie ('onimitlee be disfharot-d troip the further consideration oi 
ihe subieot.

• Falsehood No. 3 states that '* Mr. Ordway has drawn ,$7o 
per month for a horse and carriage whicli he does not use, 
has no use for, and for which there is no authority of law or 
custom." The pay for a horse and carriage has been allowed 
to the office of the Sergeaut-at-Arms for more than twenty 
years, which ought to establish a custom. I purchased a 
horse and carriage immediately atYer my first election, and 
have used up one carriage entirely, and smashed another 
badly since I have been in office. I am obliged to send to 
the Treasury Department from one to six or eight times a 
day for money and drafts for members, and if that does not 
constitute use for a team, uo officer of the Government does 
need one. But since Fogg is on the hunt for abuses, I would 
advise him to overhaul the contingent expenses of the House, 
while his " pal," Geo. Marston, now of the black-mailing 
firm of Fogg, Marston tSc Co., was doorkeeper, and he will 
find not only a oue-borse swindle, \mt that immaculate in- 



8 

tlividnal drew pay tor two horses, whi"ch he probably never 
kept or used, and also examine his pay-roll to see what 
New Hampshire men drew pay without performing service. 

Falsehood No. 4 says that Mr. Ordway '' draws $70 a 
month for his ' little boy,' and has done so all the time he 
has been in office," &c. Now Mr. Ordway has not drawn 
pay for his '- little boy " all the time since he has been in 
office, nor even half the time. The law which was passed 
some ten or fifteen years ago, when the labor devolving upon 
the office of the'Sergeant-at-Arms was not one half what it is 
now, ])rovides for one cashier, one messenger, and during tlie 
session a page to do errands and take charge of the mace. 
When I came into office, I happened to have a son about ten 
years old, whom I immediately put into the harness, and 
who, owing to the increasing duties of my office, has labored 
faitlifull}^ and earned every dollar which he has received 
from the Government, and a groat deal more. During the 
last two years, having grown nearly to manhood, he has 
performed labor for the Government at ^2.40 per day which 
would otherwise have cost |1,500 or |1,800 a year, although 
lie has never received pay for a single day when Congress 
was not in session, and the whole sum so received would not 
more tlian pay his board and other expenses in Washington. 

Falsehood No. 5, and Othek.s. — The series of falsehoods 
contained in the fifth charge were originally copied by Fogg 
from the Democratic papers, revamped and brought out 
again just before my le-election as something new, and are 
now again paraded to make the public believe that I had 
charged .$762 for gloves and $300 for crape, where my pre- 
tlecessor charged but ,$15 for gloves and $80 for crape. The 
lacts are that when a member of Congress dies and is carried 
home for burial, a committee of five members is usually sent 
to accompany the remains, which requires but five pairs of 
gloves, (for which my predecessor and probably myself in 
all such cases charged about ,$15,) and crape and other em- 
blems af monrninsr, amountin<?- to about ,*s80 in each case. 



But wiieu a deceased meiubpr is buried by Cougress, and a 
State iuneral is held in the Capitol, and the President, 
Judges of the Supreme Court, heads of departments, and 
both Houses of Congress attend, it requires instead of five 
pairs of gloves about three hundred pairs, and instead oi' 
.^80 worth of crape it requires three hundred crape scarfs, 
taking a yard and a ([uarter to a yard and a half for each 
scarf. It has cost for gloves on an average about two dollars 
and a half a pair, when purchased in large numbers, instead 
of three dollars, when Durchased for a committee ; and the 
erape has cost one dollar to one dollar and a half for eacli 
sash, making the amount named. 

Tlie bills lor the tliree State funerals, paraded by Fogg, 
show just what I have stated ; and I charge Fogg with delib- 
erately attempting to deceive the public, knowing as he did — 
if he examined the bills — that in one case only gloves for a 
committee were charged for, but in the other for about three 
hundred persons, Avith a like diiference in reference to crape. 
1 only wonder that even his malice has induced him to attempt 
to deceive the public in a matter that is so easy of explanation, 
and the truth of which is apparent to any person of common 
sense examining tlie printed records of the contingent ex- 
penses of the House, wliich ait always open to public inspec- 
tion. 

In only three cases since 1- have been in office have State 
funerals occurred, or have gloves and crape been furnished, 
although the practice has prevailed since the foundation oi' 
the Government. So much was said with reference to these 
matters that I determined to put a stop to the whole system. 
and notified the Committee on Accounts that I should decline 
to i'urnish any more crape or gloves while I remained in ofiice, 
and I have taken the responsibility to discontinue the prac- 
tice, which I hope will never again be revived. 

During the late Presidential election it was thought ad- 
visable by the Democrats, as a party measure, to charge all 
the officers of the House with malfeasance, and a book, signed 
by one Manker, made its appearance, and was brought to the 



10 ' 

notice ol' the House and referred to a rommittee, whieb re- 
ported as follows : 

Ext ract from Report of Committee. 

" The Skrgeant-at-Arms. — The charges made in the book agaiust 
I he Sergeant-at-Arms consist almost- altogether of thof^e investigated 
by the committee in the early part of this session, and the report in 
that case is referred to as a full akstver to them. It is sufficient lo 
say, in short, that after full investigation the committee ascertained 
the amounts awarded him since the commencement of the Thirty- 
ninth Congress to be in strict accordance tcith law and precedent . 

" Take a single case complained of by Manker, (thnt of the New 
(Jrleans investigation.) The Sergeant-at-Arms is charged truly with 
having received $2,392.40 for summoning 301 witnesses— that is, 
>ji7.94 each. During the last Democratic Congress — the Thirty-fifth — 
the Sergeant-at-Arms charged and received in the Fort Snelling in- 
vestigation ?;4,40S for summoning 48 witnesses, making SlOO.17 each. 
Other comparisons between 1867 and 1858 show similar results. The 
parties who have purchased the book will hardly profit by contrasting 
the Thirty-fifth and Tliirty-ninth Congresses." 

The above majority report, made by the Chairman, Hon. 
John M. Broomall, of Pennsylvania, than whom a more 
honest and upright man does not live, and concurred in by 
Hon. Samuel M. Arnell, of Tennessee, Judge Fields, of New 
i'ork, and that gallant soldier, Gen. Ephraim K. Eckley, of 
Ohio, ought to silence forever these slanderers who have been 
barking and snarling after me ever since I came to Wash- 
ington. 

But my vindication does not rest entirely with these gen- 
tlemen. The Democrats determined that Mr. McCullouoh, 
the Democratic member of the committee, should make a 
minority report, which he did ; and I have no doubt he did 
the very best he could for his party with the material at his 
command after the investigation. But he could not report 
a falsehood even to injure so obnoxious a Radiccd officer as I 
aw, and was compelled to say — I use his own words — "T 
make no charge against this officer (the Sergeant-at-Armsj 



11 

that he has charijed or received more than he is entitled tn 
by law." 

Such exaggerated ntatements had been published with ref- • 
eretice to the fees and emoluments of my office, that 1 wrote 
tlie following letter to the Committee on Accounts, request- 
ing them to strike the entire fees from the office, preferring 
to serve for even a small salary rather than to be continually 
misrepresented :

Hon. J. M. Broo.mali,, 

House of Represe/dalires of the United Sto/ex: 
Dear Sir: Certain newapapers, tor political effect, have been cir- 
culating the most extravagant and false statements iu relation to the 
fees received by me as Sergeant-at-Arms for summoning witnesses, 
lij order therefore to put a stop to these wholesale misrepreaeutatlons, 
and to satisfy the House and the country that witnesses are hereafter 
to be secured at the lowest possible expense, (if any more investiga- 
tions are oi'dered,) I have to request that you will introduce a resolu- 
tion taking away all allowance for mileage which has heretofore been 
allowed the Sergeant-at-Arms, and in lieu thereof provide that the 
Sergeant-at-Arms or bis messenger shall only be allowed the actual 
expenses incurred iu securing the attendance of any witness ; and 
that all such bills for expenses paid to secure witnesses shall be accom 
panied by an affidavit signed by the person who expended the money 
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

CoMMiTTEK ON ACCOUNTS, February 8, 1869. 
I certify that the above is a true copy of a letter received at this 
room on the day of the date thereof by the chairman to whom it wa? 

addressed. 

J. W. ULARK, 
Ckrk CommlUec on Account,", 11. H. 

The closing portion of lie No. 5 is more infamous and 
wicked, if possible, than anything that Fogg's fertile brain 
liad hitherto invented, especially that portion which says — 

" Ordway is not only officially con-upt, but hi:? office room is the 
headquarters of the most corrupt lobbyists," Sac. 



12 

Tliis statement is such a barefaced falsehood that it woiihl 
not need contradiction in Washington, as everybody knows 
that my office is the only one about the Capitol that the 
public, including lobbyists, are excluded from, all the other 
offices being open and free to the public. 

And whoever says that I ever approached a member of 
Congress or of the New Hampshire legislature with a cor- 
rupt proposition, 1 will prove to be a wilful and malicious 
liar. If I have so approached any man, let him stand fortli 
and proclaim.it. If I ha^e sold offices, let the man who ever 
paid me one dollar publish it in Fogg's paper, over his own 
signature. Instead of having that paper filled, as it recently 
has been^ with bogus letters, purporting to come from the 
people, which have all been manufactured in Fogg's office. 

With the exception of the Flint letter advocating re- 
jmdiation, I do not believe he has received a single endorse- 
ment of his infamous course — certainly not from any Repub- 
lican who fully understands the jnotives Avliich have con- 
trolled his actions. 

The false suggestion that the New Hampshire delegation 
were opposed to my re-election is best answered by the fact 
that a friend of mine presented the resolution to allow them 
to vote in caucus, and they were only prevented from voting 
for me by the ruling of the chairman, that none but mem- 
bers having a right to vote in the House for officers nomi- 
nated could be admitted to vote in caucus. Therefore, if 
Fogg thinks his threats moved either the members of the 
House or Senators he is very much mistaken. They have 
not forgotten his eftbrts to belittle the whole delegation bv 
comparing them with those who had preceded them, and 
whom he mournfidly alleged had been driven out of office bv 
Mr. Chandler and myself. 

Having borne in silence for months past the oft-repeated 
attacks maliciously made against me by Fogg and his tools, 
yet having been vindicated by the Republicans of Warner, 
where I was born, and have lived nearly all my life ; by the 
Republicans of j\[errimack county, who selected me to preside 



13 

over the coimty cuuveuiiun, iield tlic .same week tiiat Fog^ 
published Wilkinson's circular ; by having been made pres- 
ident of the electoral convention wliicli nominated Hon. ^la- 
son W. Tappan lor elector in the 2d Congressional district, 
althougli Fogg's dirty sheet was daily filled with abuse of 
Die ; and, finally, by liaving received a renomiuation and 
re-election as Sergeant-at-Arms of the U. S. Hon.se of Rep- 
resentatives for the fourth term, by the votes of men who 
have entrusted hundreds of thousands of dollars in my hands 
for safe keeping Avithout even taking a receipt for the same,* 
yet never having a dollar in dispute between myself and 
them or the Government during the whole time 1 have been 
in office, I feel that now, when our State election is over, 
1 cannot be cliarged with a want of forbearance if I la}" 
before the State Committee and tlie people of New Hamp- 
shire the true character of this man Fogg, however sickening 
and disgusting may be the details of the operations of this 
political black-mailer, office-broker, and traitor to the Ke- 
])ublican party. In doing so, liowever, I shall not descend to 
tlie low personal abuse with wiiich I have been assailed 
because when a poor boy 1 commenced life's struggles with- 
out an early education or powerful friends, but shall at this 
time only rei'er to his public conduct. 

(iEOiUxK u. foik; ant office-broker AMj BI.ACK-MAILER. 

It is always unpleasant to be obliged to drag before the 
public })ersonal difficulties, and to expose the private malice 
that has instigated personal attacks ; but when a coarse, bru- 
tal slanderer sets himself u[) as a censor upon the motives 
and actions of others whose service to the Republican cause 
has been valuable, then it becomes necessary to strip off the 
''sheepskin" and expose the ravenous wolf. In order to 
do tliis, I sliall be obliged to i-eler somewhat to my personal 
relations with this political highwayman and black-mailer. 

In March; 1861, I visited Washington foi- the first time, 
and while stopping at the National Hotel was informed by 
Hon. A. H. Cragin that the Postmaster General wanted to 



14 

suciire tlie tieivioes o( au active, energetic .special agent to 
take charge of the mail service in tlie New England States.' 
Hon. E. H. Rollins, who had then just been elected to Con- 
gress, advised me to apply for the position, and otfercd to 
accompany me to the Postmaster General. Fogg, and sev- 
eral other New Hampshire men, went along with us. 

Judge Blair said he had scores of applicants for the place, 
but had not found the man he wanted. After a short con- 
versation, and ascertaining that I had had considerable ex- 
perience as sheriff, city marshal, and in other detective 
service, ^Ir. Blair said he thought I was just the man lie 
wanted, and tendered me the appointment, saying I need 
not consider it a political i'avor, as he should put the whole 
district under my control, and hold me responsible for the 
efficiency of the mail service in those States, I thanked 
him, and said I thought I would accept the position, al- 
though ray five years' commission as sheriff of Merrimack 
county, N. H., had another year to run. 

Having left home hastily, I desired to returii at once and 
arrange my business so as to enter upon the duties of the 
oftice. I applied at the Post Office Department for the com- 
mission, but it Avas not delivered to me. and I was told I had 
better see the New Hampshire men about it. 

[ called upon Hon. E. H. Rollins, the member from my 
district, and asked him what the delay meant. 

He said he did not know, but would see Fogg. A short 
time after, Mr. Rollins informed me that to his surprise 
Fogg demanded money before X could have my commission, 
and said to him (Rollins) that he (Fogg) had put Blair in 
Postmaster General, and that he might go away, and this 
and the Concord post office would be all he (Fogg) would get 
anything out of. 

1 was indignant, and reminded Mr. Rollins that I had 
organized and uniformed political clubs, expending money 
and incurring obligations to the amount of some twelve 
hundred dollars during the Lincoln campaign, while Fogg, 
as the nominal secretary of of the National Committee, had 



15 

boeu luxuriating at the Astor HouHe upon thu I'uuds raised 
by contributions, and had actually carried away a valuable 
dcsk,U8ed and paid for by the committee, to adorn his bachelor 
den in New Hampshire ; that under these circumstances tot 
him to demand money of me would be an outrage to whicli 
1 would not submit. 

My. Rollins admitted the force of what I had stated, and 
8aid he had no doubt I had contributed more time and money 
towards the election of Abraham Lincoln than almost any 
one man in New Hampsbire, but said be feared that Fogg 
had more power witli Blair than tlie whole New Hampshire 
delegation — Representatives and Senators — wbobad endorsed 
me, and as Fogg had finally concluded to take a hundred 
dollars, be had rather pay it bimself than bave a fight 
with bim, just as he (Rollins) was commencing his Congres- 
sional career. I repeated tliat it was an outrage for Fogg to 
demand money of me, and was notbing less than black-mail 
on his part, as he had done nothing for me, and was in 
Washington securing a fat office for himself. If, however, 
any one must pay him money on account of the commission. 
I should do it myself. 

After I passed out of Mr. Rollins' room I met Fogg. He 
asked if I had seen Rollins. I said '^ Yes ; and Rollins says 
you Avant money from me ;" and I went on to repeat to him 
what I had said to Mr. Rollins, thinking perhaps I could 
shame him out of demanding it. Fogg replied that it was 
a great place, and the sum a small one ; that as Maryland 
was to have the Postmaster Generalship, and Mr. Lincoln 
was evenly balanced between Winter Davis and Judge Blair, 
he, (Fogg,) being secretary of the National Committee, had 
come to Washington and turned the scale in favor of Blair. 
In fact, lie said, (I use his exact words,) " I took Montgom- 
ery Blair. by the collar and breeches, and made him Post- 
master General, an^ this and the Concord post office is all 
I shall get out of him." 

I saw it was useless to appeal further to such a Shy lock. 
and took out one hundred dollars, (|100,) and reached it 
towards him, saying, *' Take it if you can afford to." 



Fogg grabbed it, and thrust it iiito Itis vc^l (.'ockoL as 
glibly as a gambler would sweep the board at a roulette- 
table, and went off, 1 doubt not, to black-mail some one else 
v.'liom he had learned expected an office. In I'lj^ct^ I am 
credibly informed that Fogg bagged several thousand dollars 
about that time in a similar manner. 

In making the above statement, 1 wish it distinctly under- 
stood, that the only reasons why 1 consented to pay tlie money 
was because I had received the appointment and was entitled 
10 receive my commission, and Fogg stood in the attitude of 
a liighwayman, leaving me only the alternative of beiaig 
robbed of a hundred dollars, or of losing my office, and. be- 
cause notice of my appointment had been published in the 
newspapers and copied in New Hampshire, and a lailure to 
receive my commission would have })laced me in an 
awkward position ; and 1 further wish it to be distinctly 
understood that I never emidoyed Fogg nor any other 
i)ersou to procure that or any other office for me, and, 
in fact, I did not know, until Mr. Cragin informed me, 
that there was any such position as that to which I was 
appointed ; therefore, Fogg cannot set up the plea (so often 
made by black-mailers) that he demanded tire money for 
expenses in procuring the office, as he liad been in Wash- 
ington a long time before I reached there, intriguing to 
secure a '' soft place " for himself, Avhich, finall}', he procured 
by following up President Lincoln in an overbearing man- 
ner, demanding to be made Commissioner of Patents, until, 
worn out and disgusted. Mr. Lincoln sent him to Switzerland 
to get rid of him, Avhere he remained live years, during the 
late terrible conflict, hobnobbing and wine-bibbing with such 
as he could quarter himself upon, and hoarding up his §7,500 
a year, which lie wrung from the depleted treasury of his 
country in gold, under the pretence of spending it in en- 
tertaining his countrymen. Returning home with a baggage 
irain of Swiss watches, music boxes, jewelry, &c., he arrived 
just in time to become a favorite of Andrew Johnson, and 
was sent to New Orleans, where he surrendered millions of 
dollars' worth of cotton, which the Government had seized 



17 

to be confiscated^ to the then defeated and hungry rebels, for 
which he charged and received six thousand dollars from 
the Government ; reaching New Hampshire in season to en- 
gineer a furious contest over the Senatorship, hoping to slip 
in while the other candidates were wrangling. Defeated in 
this by the candidate he most hated, Fogg next sought, and 
by the aid of his friend, Andrew Johnson, secured a three- 
months' appointment in the Senate, for th purpose, as he 
stated to me " to warm Patterson's seat for him,'' and make 
him (Patterson) ''roost lower;" or, in other words, to pour his 
slanderous venom in the ears of Senators, to poison their minds 
against Senator Patterson in advance. From the moment Fogg 
secured this temporary prize, he commenced intriguing 
against Mr. Chandler and myself, and every other New 
Hampshire man whom lie could not use. I was specially 
selected for the slaughter which he had arranged, because, 
having wronged and black-mailed me, he thought I might 
expose him and thereby induce others to expose the larger 
sums which he' had pocketed from them, and for the further 
reason that he knew I had carefully watched his intrigues 
with Johnson, and would j^robably expose him when he 
came to j)ay up for his appointment by voting with Doolittle, 
Dixon and other renegades, to deprive of the right of suf- 
frage, iu the Distl'ict of Columbia, better men than he, whose 
skins were nearer white than his, because they had lived 
in a community wliose laws made it a crime to acquaint 
tliem with books, and consequently could not read and write 
when just emancip^-ted from slavery. Yes ; this blatant, loud- 
mouthed, pretended abolitionist, (wheu that hobby gained 
him contributions to start and keep alive a newspaper,) got 
down on his knees to Andrew Johnson, and gave his vote 
as before stated, and had it recorded on page 32 of the Senate 
Journal, (2d Session, 39tli Congress,) with Doolittle, Dixon, 
Buckalew, Hendricks, Riddle, and Andrew Johnson's son- 
in-law, Patterson, of Tennessee, thus betraying liberty 
almost the first day he was placed upon the watch-tower of 
freedom, [ call upon the " Old Guard," if any of them are 
yet clinging to the polluted skirts of this apostate, to exam- 



18 

ine the Senate Journal on the page before named, and satisfy 
tliemselves of his apostacy; and also to examine the journal 
of the Senate during his brief and disgraceful career in that 
body, and they will find that out of 198 votes that were 
taken by yeas and nays, Fogg either dodged or voted with 
the Democrats over fifty times, and that he voted for every 
railroad, river, and harbor plunder bill, including the Niag- 
ara ship canal, the Des Moines Kapids appropriatiou, (Sec. ■ 

FOGG A TRAITOR TO GENERAL GRANT AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. 

But this is only a tithe of his treachery to the Republican 
party, and the fulfilment of his pledges to Andrew Johnson 
to sustain him as a reward for liis appointment, for, just be- 
iore the Philadelphia convention, Fogg dined and wined 
with Postmaster General Randall and Edmund Cooper, 
(Johnson's private secretary,) at the place where they 
were drilling their "bread-and-butter brigade"' for the 
mongrel Philadelphia convention, hoping it would succeed 
in breaking up the Republican party. That he has been 
the sworn friend of Chief Justice Chase, and a traitor to 
General Grant, there is the most abundant evidence. His 
attacks upon tlie "Statesman," when it first proposed the 
name of General Grant for the Presidency ; his quarrel 
with Mr. Chandler on the night before the State convention, 
when he knew that Mr^ Chandler, as chairman of the com- 
mittee on resolutions, was going to report a resolution pledg- 
ing New* Hampshire to General Grant ; his subsequent in- 
trigues with Sinclair, the Democratic candidate for Governor, 
while in Washington to raise funds to defeat Gov. Harriman, 
all go to show that lie was working with Mr. Chase for a 
Copperhead victory in tlie first State to vote in the Presiden- 
tial year because that State had spoken for General Grant. 
Of his duplicity and treachery in relation to the Chicago con- 
vention, Mr. Chandler has told the public. But the crowning 
act of his treachery, which occurred long after Gen. Grant was 
nominated, remains to be recorded. AfewdaysbeforetheDem- 
ocratio convention met in New York, this fJeorge G. Fogg, 



19 

editor of a nominally Republican paper, whose columns were 
then teeming with fulsome praises of General Grant and Hon. 
E. B. Washburne, went to the room of John G. Sinclair, in the 
Eagle Hotel, in the city of Concord, the headquarters of the 
delegation to the New York convention, and then and there, 
with malice aforethought, deliberately conspired with the 
aforesaid delegates to try to induce them to bring forward 
]\[r. Chase at their national convention in order to defeat 
General Grant and destroy the Republican j^arty. The pre- 
cise language that he used on that occasion was taken down 
by true and faithfu-l hands upon the spot, and is ready to be 
yerified by two unimpeachable witnesses when this double- 
dyed traitor to liberty, to party, and to General Grant shall 
come fawning around the incoming administration, asking- 
patronage and favors. 

But it is useless to accumulate evidence of Fogg's treach- 
ery and apostacy ; he has recently given notice through the 
columns of his low, blackguard sheet that he shall not here- 
after be bound by regular Republican nominations, unless 
they happen to suit him, and has openly advised bolting, 

FOGG A POLITICAL PAUfER AND BKGGAK. 

A word, therefore, in relation to his newspapers will not 
be out of place. When the Independent Democrat was started, 
tlie money for that purpose was begged or borrowed, but 
never repaid, and subsequently, I am informed, he begged 
twenty-five hundred dollars at one time^ and^ in fact, he has 
always been a political pauper upon tlie hands of the Repub- 
lican party,, until he gobbled up nearly /o?% iliousand dol- 
lars in gold, and had his friend and broker. Collector Smy the, 
sell it for him at from 5^1.7;">- to i^2.80. wliilo the soldiers were 
glad to get greenbacks. 

If any one doubts the correctness of what I have stated, 
let him ask Hon. A. F. Pike, of Franklin ; George Folsom. 
Esq., of Dover ; W..W. George, Esq., of Canaan ; Lemuel 
Cooper and Ruel Durkee, of Craydon, and scores of others, 
all over the State, n». to how much ninney fhoy have paid 
into the concern. 



20 

I assert, and challenge successful contradiction, tliat Fogg 
and his associates have begged and borrowed and received 
more money, which they never intend to pa}'^, than their 
whole mongrel newspaper concern would bring under the 
hammer, while I am not aware that any other Concord news- 
paper has ever asked or received a dollar. 

As to his dirty paper, the " Monitor," everybody in New 
Hampshire knows that the money to start it was swindled 
out of men under false pretences, and that it has been kept 
alive and supported as the paid organ of the Concord rail- 
road. It was starte^ to break down the Republican party, 
and it has been true to its mission ; but as yet it has met 
with poor success. When Mr. Gilmore controlled it, hi*s 
orders to his managers were to attack me every time I should 
come into the city of Concord, and the same course has been 
ptirsued since it came under Fogg's control. Governor Gil- 
more is dead, and I shall not bravely kick his coffin as Fogg 
has recently done, after riding on his free passes all over the 
country, and for years using his paper to promote Gilmore" s 
schemes. I opposed Mr. Gilmore's nomination, and his wild 
and wicked scjiemes while Governor. I fought him and his 
railroads when at the zenith of his power, but I shall not 
needlessly imitate Fogg's example, and assail his memory 
now he is dead. 

In conclusion, I have to say with reference to Fogg's reck- 
less lies about the large amount of money that 1 have gained 
and hoarded up, that I make this proposition : The State 
Committee may appoint a committee of three of its members, 
who shall put me upon oath and examine my books and 
papers, and I will pledge myself to turn over to Fogg every 
doU-ar I have saved from money received from or through the 
Government in any form for two-thirds the amount Fogg has 
hoarded from the proceeds of the gold he extorted from the 
riovernment during the five years lie misrepresented and 
disgraced the country abroad and at New Orleans, and has 
now invested in such a way as to shield it from taxation. 

In order to carry out this proposition in good faith, I will 
give a bond for t^n thousand dollars, with good and suflicient 



21 

sureties, tu stand by thiy utter — a like boud to be executed 
by Fogg; 

Unless this offer is accepted, no fair-minded man ought 
hereafter to allow Fogg's lying paper in or around his dwel- 
ling. 

If fourteen years service in the Kepubliean party, during 
seven of which I expended one half of my income to pro- 
mote its success — in the critical campaign of 1863 serving as 
chairman of the Xew Hampshire State Committee, receiv- 
ing the advice and constantly in communication with Presi- 
dent Lincoln, with whose friendship and confidence I wh,< 
honored to the day of his death — is -to be overbalanced by 
the lying and cowardly attacks of an overgrown, pompous 
renegade, then has justice and honor fled from the breast of 

man.

APPENDIX 



I 



The following extracts troia tlxe oldest aud most reliable 
ilepublican papers in New Hampshire show how the conduct 
of Geo. G. i'ogg is regarded hy the disinterested and respec- 
table portion of the community. 

The Keene Senl ill eJ, of a late date, luu tlie loUowing: 

'• PaiVATE Q( AKKKL."^. — VVc are not disposed to meddle with the 
juivate quarrels of any one, nor are they generally of interest to 
others than the p;utics concerned ; but when an editor of a Republi- 
can paper so far degrades himself and disgusts his friends as to devote 
a half column or m9re space, week after week, to the abuse and slander 
of prpmiuent and trustworthy members of the party to Avhich he pni- 
fec-ses to belong, then we feel justified in protesting against it. Tlie 
fpiari'el between the editor of the hidejfendent Democrat and certain 
leading men in the Republican party is the one referred to; and it is 
generally understood to be a pei'sonal aud private afiair, in which the 
public have no interest whatever, alid having its origin in disappointed 
ambition aud jealousy on the part of the editor. It has been a one- 
sided affair for a long time, the sitbjects of the editor's peculiar venom 
wisely disdaining to notice the oft-repeated charges made against 
tliem, and which have no effect whatever upon the minds of the people 
except to create a feeling of disgust aud contempt for the- man who 
persists in thrusting his private grievances upon the notice of the 
public. We hope the edit6r of the Independent Democrat may yet, 
?oe himself as others see himf' and hereafter devote the space so long 
given to vituperation atid abuse to the interests of the party for whicli 
he has diligently and faithfully labored for a quarter of a'ceutury, and 
we might add, at whose Lands he has been placed in offices of honor 
and emolument whereby his doubtful fame and princely fortune were 
established. 



[From ilift .\ii.<luui iX. H.) Telegniph, J:mu;ir\- l':!, ISiJO.] 

A MATTER OP NO PUBLIC INTEREST. 

Mr. Grcorge G. Fogg, ex-iStatc Secretary, State Reporter, Stale 
Printer, Minister to Switzerland, agent of the Treasury Department, 
United States Senator, and prepent euctodiau of all the virtue and 



26 

honesty belonging to the IWpublicaii party, makes our recent refer- 
ence to the organization of the Republican State Committee an occa- 
sion to indulge in a characteristic attack on Mr. Rollins through the 
columns of the Monitor. That paper'.^ supercilious allusion to our- 
self is of no consequence to us or to our readers. When a man i.< 
paying out rope with which to hang himself, as the Monitor editor 
has been doing since his e:!^t from the United States Senate, we think 
it his privilege to .say what he pleases ; and wjiat he does say deserve,* 
uiily so much attenti.on as i^hould be given to the slanders of a knavt 
ur the gibes of a fool. 

We say that the editor of the Concord l\loni[or is preparing lu 
hang himself. He has been at it for quite two years. He will suc- 
ceed soon. Retiring, with great unwillingness, from his mission to 
Switzerland, Avhicli was as soft as it Avas fat, he secured a seat in the 
United States Senate, on the resignation of ^Ir. Clark, by a hocus- 
pocus that Ave could never understand. His services in the Senate. 
if they were remarkable for anything, were remarkable for nothing, 
Did he then, as now, raise his voice in furious denunciation of the 
thieves, robbers, and plunderers that abound ia Washington ? He 
opened not his mouth against them. * Bid he then, as now, oppose the 
long-established policy of giving alternate sections of the public lands 
to aid in the construction of lailroads in the extreme Western States ' 
Not at all. On the contrary, he voted for all the grants that were 
made while he was in the Senate, including those to the California 
Pacific and the Stockton and Copperopolis railroads. Did he then, 
as now, brand the Union Pacific Railroad corporation as a huge swind- 
ling concern " which is corrupting and debauching our national poli- 
tics, adding tens of millions to our national debt, and swelling by 
more than a thousand dollars a day the indebtedness of the people ot 
New Hampshire ?" Did he bring in a bill for the repeal of the char- 
ter of that corporation, to cut ofi" its subsidies, or to revoke its land 
grants ? He did nothing of the sort. He had a rare, a golden op- 
portunity to serve his constituents and save them " a thousand dol- 
lars a da}^," but he let it slip. Probably he never thought of it. His 
vtrtuous indignation is all an afterthought. 

Since Mr. Fogg ceased to fill a large seat in the Senate, he has de- 
voted his energies, time, money; and pen to defaming the characters 
and raining the prospects of several well-known New Hampshire Re- 
publican politicians. He has not succeeded, although he has pursued 
his object with a relentless enmity and a foolish recklessness entirely 



27 

cliaraeterirttic of the man. Hitherto Mr. KoUiiis has been exempted, 
save by innuendo, from hh attacks. Now he cornea in for a share, lie 
came in for it at the organization of the State Committee, when tiie 
members ■were told that, if they re-elected ifr. Jlollin?, Homebody 
(well known to be Mr. Fog<j) would " ema><li tlie machine." Xever- 
ihele^g Mr. Rollins was re-elected, receiving- 34 votes to 13 for all 
other.s. With that endorsement we hardly think he wili cirher die or 
resign^ as the Mo/n'lor kindly wishes he would. 

Amon"- all the at.tril)utes of character Ave think sincerity liie rarest 
and best. If Mr. Fog-g is honest and eai-nest in his course, Ave must 
say that he is in very puspicious company — that of himself. Mr. 
George (>. Fogg compelling Mv. OrdAvay to i)ay him one hundred 
dollars for his influence in getting him a petty appointment under Mr 
Lincoln ; Mr. George G. Fogg receiving six thousand dollars for a fcAv 
months' service in New Orleans ; Mr. George G. Fogg disoAvning the 
Independent to secure the favor of Andrew Johnson; Mr. ffeorge G. 
Fogor raisins: no voice and giving no vote against the swindlers Avheu 
he sat in the United States Senate ; Mr. George G. Fogg conspiring 
Avith leading Democrats to secure the nomination of Salmon P. Cha^e 
by the rebel convention in Now York ; Mr. George G. Fogg vindic- 
tively and falsely assailing his neighbors as thieves and plunderer.- 
AA'hen he knows they are infinitely cleaner than himself; Mr. George 
G. Fogg threatening ruin to the Republican party if it does not join in 
his villanous and contemptible crusade — that Mr, George G. Fogg i.-^ 
damaging company for anybody, and we earnestly advise our " big 
brother " of the Monitor to give him quits at once. In that Avay onl.\- 
can he escape death by hanging. He is noAv nearly at the end of his 
rope. He has little time left for repentance. Soon it will be too late, 
and then we shall be reluct^mtly obliged to publish an obituary, some- 
thing as follows : 

'■Died at Concord, Mr"! George G. Fog;i, a pugnacious member of the " Old 
Republican Guard," Avho Avas Minister to Switzerland, Envoy to New Orleans, 
and a member of Andrew Johnson's Kitchen Cabinet: Avho grcAv rich, fat, and 
foolish at the public crib, and Avho died of a disease not common among men — too 
great an opinion of himself, and too mean an opinion of his friends. Peace to 
his dust." ^_ __ * 

[From ihe Nashua Telegraph, January 30, I860.] 
A DUTY DONE. 
The plain little pill which Ave administered to Mr. George G. Fogg 
last week operated both as an emetic and. purgative on the sick man 



28 

From iSwitzerlaucl, aud*iu this week's indepcndmt lie, rtjlicvc;* liimscH' 
of a good deal of " rile " and nastiness. Our duty is now done. Wh 
took it up with « good deal of reluctance, knowing full well that tIk; 
})atient was generally regarded as past hope and past praying for. 
But we took courage, knowing that 

■• While the lamp holds out to bum. 
The vilest sinner mny return." 

It i^ not a pleasant duty to warn sinner.s of the fate of Judas, who 
in dif?gust went out and hanged himself. And 3''et Judas had been one 
of the most faithful of the twelve. Before Mr. Fogg went abroad, for 
his country's good, as* it proved, he had done yeoman service in the 
;)nti-.«lavery cause, for all which, however, he ha.s been amply paid out 
of the plethoric pocket of Uncle Samuel, and of course is no longer a 
" poor devil." But oftice and wealth had their baneful influence on 
this yeoman thus suddenly raised to affluence and eminence. He be- 
came puffed up with his own greatness, and because his neighbors did 
not hasten to bow down and worship at his shrine on his retufn, and 
yield precedence to his Alpine genius in all things, he turned into a 
gorilla, and for two years has beeii " roaming the forest " seeking whom 
he might crush, crunch and devour. It is no wonder that the roar oi 
this wild beast has carried terror among our quiet New Hampshire 
hills. It is no wonder that the stories of his rampage, as they have 
been told in bated breath, have made fair women shudder and brave 
men grow pale with fear. It is no wonder that the liepublicaus of 
New Hampshire have kept aloof from his track and allowed him to 
range at will. But it is a wonder that the inquiry has not heretofore 
been pushed to ascertain whether this wild beast, which roars so loudly 
and tramps so heavily, is really a gorilla or — something else. . On this 
point we have long been satistied. We have seen the beast in the 
Monitor for a whole year. We have seen and heard him on more 
than one occasion at the meetings of the Repixblican State Committee. 
We have him this week at full length in the Independent — vfDi a hair, 
not a look, not a roar, not anything missing. There he is. Look. 
Reptiblicaus of New Hampshire ! you who have fretted and frightened 
yourselves over this " roaring lion." The ears, the maw, the " excre- 
ment," the roar, are unmistakable. Behold — AN ASS. 



Gii.\'. Steven.':;, the Representative from this district, made a speech 
some two weeks ago in favor of granting a subsidy and lands to the 
.Denver Pacific railway. With our well-knov.n y'ww?- in opposition

lo all railway riubsidie^, we of course fail to agree with the argu- 
ments or conclusions of our representative,, "jiiere is but one safe 
rule in relation to every such project to take money from the Na- 
tional Treasury. That is, to vote against them every time. And 
only by so doing cau our delegation in Congress carry out the wishe? 
of the people of New Hampshire. — Independent Democrat. 

The cool impudence displayed iu the above paragraph is well illus- 
trated by the fact that the writer thereof, ^^r. George GK Fogg, voted 
for every railroad bill that passed the Senate while he was an acci- 
dental member of that body two years ago. " Onr well-known views 
in opposition to all railroad subsidies," indeed ! Either the writer 
must think his readers have very short memories, or else he justly con- 
eludes that his Senatorial career was too insignificant to be remem- 
bered at all. It would be easier to find a needle iu a hay-mow than 
any "views" of Mr. George fl. Fogg agaiuf^t railway subsidies or land 
2.rant3 while he was in Conerress. 



[I'rolu llie Kfpul)licau Slatesmiui, (Concord, X. H.] 
NOMINATION OF COL. ORDWAY. 

The telegraph on Tuesday evening announced that the Kepublican 
caucus of the House of Representatives, nominating Mr. Blaine for 
Speaker, Mr. McPhersou for Clerk, and Atr. Buxton for Door-keeper, 
had also re-nonlinated Col. N. G. Ordway for Sergeant at-Arms. Col. 
Ordway received 75 votes against 57 for General Washburn. It is 
well known that as late as one year ago Colonel Ordway had no in- 
tention or expectation of becoming a candidate for re-election ; and 
had nothing unusual happened, he would now have stood aside from 
all competition, tliat the office might be rotated. But the persistent 
slanderous att^icks upon him made his re-uominatiou a simple act of 
justice by the House, the great majority, if not every one, of whose 
membeis is convinced of his innocence of tlie libellous charges, 
(.'opies of every abusive article on the Sergeant-at-Arms which hai^ 
been published, have been freely distributed among members of the 
House, and every device of malice has been resorted to for the pur- 
pose of damagiug.his reputation with the body lie hasf served for six 
years past. Vet he received 75 out of 132 votes, though General 
Washburn wa.s his competitor ; and on motion of j\[r. Orth, of In- 
diana, who had introduced the name of Gen. W., the nomination was 
mTide unanimous. If hi^ slanderers were not lOf-n ntterlv wilhou 



30 

character, this would be .1 triumph of which Colonel Ordway might 
well be proud. 

It is unnecessary lor us to state our entire confidence in Mr. Ord- 
way 's personal and oiScial integrity. He is a man of great energy of 
character, of earnest and positive opinions, who, since 1855, has taken 
an active part in New Hampshire politics, and has been highly hon- 
ored by the Republicau party at home, and also at Washington by the 
Representatives of the Republican party of the nation. He possesses 
the confidence and earnest friendship of Governor Harriman, of Mr. 
Stearns, our nominee for Governor, and of all our Senators and Rep- 
resentatives in Congress. 

A man of Mr. Ordway's pronounced character and bold action will 
of course make enemies, not only among his political opponents, but. 
in his own party. But we believe that no issue can be made against 
him in which. he vv'ill not be sustained by the Republicans of hi.-; 
native town of Warner, of Merrimack county, and pf the State. 
Thus supported by the people nearest home, who best know him, and 
whose opinion is of the most value, and by the leading Republicans of 
the State, (with insignificant exceptions,) we think he can afford to 
take no notice of the exploded charges of J. H. Wilkinson and Geo. 
Alfred Townsend, or of the secret instigators of their malice.
